I Love Red and White!!

I am FINISHED!!!!

Last December I received 13 Red and White blocks from our Seams Like Sisters Bee.
They are BEAUTIFUL!!
They are all in a quilt and
In a FINISHED quilt.

This quilt was so much fun to make!! And it was a great stash-buster. I used scraps of red prints that I had in my stash and scraps of batting and some white-on-white yardage that I had. I even had red thread. The reds I had were so similar that you almost cannot tell that there are 5 or 6 different red prints used to surround the pieced blocks I received.

An earlier post described how I made the quarter-square-triangle blocks that are in between the pieced blocks.

I used a Quilt-as-you-go method. I even tried some free-motion quilting on three of the blocks. The triangles just called for straight-line quilting, though.

Maybe the most amazing thing about the quilt is the back. I added a white Ohio Star amidst the variety of red fabrics. THEN, when I hung in to take a photo... well ... you can see faintly see the blocks from the front of the quilt. I LOVE this quilt!!!

I look forward to using this quilt at

Christmas.

And Valentine's Day.

And Memorial Day.

And the Fourth of July.

And Labor Day.

And anytime I want to feel loved!

Thanks, so much to Kelly, Holly, Linda, Renee, Sandy, Susan, Judy, Carla, Diane, Kathi, Priscilla, and Shirley. You ladies just Seem Like Sisters to me!!

Wife, Mother of four, Semi-Retired Home Schooler, Homemaker and Quilter. My daughter said I should say I am an amazing cook. My son told me I am a good math teacher. Makes sense: cooking, math, and quilting go together so well! I hope to share creative ideas and projects I've saved up for years and years. I also hope to finish some projects....
